BACKGROUND

Home automation systems, which have become increasingly popular, may beused by homeowners to integrate and control multiple electrical loadsand/or electronic devices in the homeowners' houses. For example, ahomeowner may connect appliances, lights, window treatments,thermostats, cable or satellite boxes, security systems,telecommunication systems, and other devices to each other via awireless network. The homeowner may control these devices using acontroller or user interface provided via a smart phone, a tablet, acomputer, or other computing device directly connected to the network orremotely connected via the Internet. These devices may communicate witheach other and the controller to improve their efficiency, theirconvenience, and/or their usability.

In some instances, a user may desire to control electrical loads and/orelectronic devices using a device other than a smart phone, a tablet,and a computer. For example, the user may consider a smart phone, atablet, and a computer too bulky for controlling electrical loads and/orelectronic devices. Further, the user may consider a smart phone, atablet, a computer too inconvenient, for example, due to the user havingto locate the smart phone, tablet, computer for controlling with theelectrical loads and/or electronic devices.

The loadcontrol adjustment screen may have a slider control (e.g., avertically-arranged linear slider control) having an adjustment knobarranged along a slot. A user may press and hold the adjustment knobwith a finger and slide the finger (e.g., up and down) to move theadjustment knob to adjust the intensity of the controlled lighting load.

The slider control of the network device may provide fine tuneadjustment of the intensity of the controlled lighting load and/or theposition of the motorized window treatments. For example, the fine tuneadjustment provided by the network device may adjust the intensity ofthe controlled lighting load and/or the position of the motorized windowtreatments by a lesser percentage than provided by the wearable wirelessdevice. The percentage of change in the load control adjustments made onthe wearable wireless device may be a multiple of the percentage ofchange available on the network device. For example, the network devicemay control a dimming level and/or a shade level in increments of 1%,while the wearable wireless device may control the dimming level and/orthe shade level in 10%, 25%, or 33% increments. The network device maybe capable of providing fine tune adjustments due to the network devicehaving a larger display than the display provided by the wearablewireless device. The fine tune adjustment may provide adjustments to theintensity of a lighting load and/or positions of the motorizedtreatments that are in smaller increments than provided by the wearablewireless device. For example, the fine tune adjustments provided by thenetwork device may be in increments of 1% steps, 3% steps, 5% steps,etc., while the adjustments provided by the wearable wireless device maybe in increments of 25% steps, 33% steps, 50% steps, etc.

FIG. 2A illustrates a simplified front view of an example network device200 (e.g., the network device 170 of the load control system 100 shownin FIG. 1). The network device 200 may comprise a user interface havinga touch-responsive visual display 210. The network device 200 mayfurther comprise a touch sensitive element (e.g., a capacitive touchpad) displaced overtop the visual display 210 to allow the networkdevice 200 to display soft controls (e.g., soft buttons) that may beactuated by a user. The network device 200 may be configured to providea plurality of different soft controls to the user on the visual display210 to allow the user to monitor and/or adjust operating characteristicsand parameters of a load control system (e.g., the load control system100). The network device 200 may comprise hard buttons, e.g., physicalbuttons (not shown).

The network device 200 may display a load control adjustment screen 220for controlling an electrical load via a load control device. Forexample, the load control adjustment screen 220 may be a lighting zoneadjustment window for controlling a zone of lighting. The zone oflighting may include one or more controlled lighting loads, such as thelight bulb 112 of the load control system 100 shown in FIG. 1. The loadcontrol adjustment screen 220 may have a slider control 222 (e.g., avertically-arranged linear slider control) having an adjustment knob 224arranged along a slot 225. A user may press and hold the adjustment knob224 with a finger and slide the finger (e.g., up and down) to move theadjustment knob 224 to adjust a parameter (e.g., the intensity) of thecontrolled lighting load. The slider control 222 may provide fine tuneadjustment of the parameter (e.g., the intensity) of the controlledlighting load. For example, the fine tune adjustment provided by thenetwork device may adjust the intensity of the controlled lighting loadby a lesser percentage than provided by the wearable wireless device.The fine tune adjustment may adjust the parameter (e.g., the intensity)in smaller increments than enabled on the wearable wireless device. Forexample, the fine tune adjustments may adjust the parameter (e.g., theintensity) in increments of 1% steps, 3% steps, 5% steps, etc. Thepercentage of change in the load control adjustments made on thewearable wireless device may be a multiple of the percentage of changeavailable on the network device. For example, the wearable wirelessdevice may control a dimming level in increments that are ten timesgreater than the increments of change that may be enabled by the networkdevice. The network device may be able to make fine-tune adjustments ofthe dimming level at 1% increments, while the wearable wireless devicemay control the dimming level in 10%, 25%, or 33% increments.

Though shown as a vertical slider control 222, the slider control 222may be horizontally arranged, or circular. The load control adjustmentscreen 220 may comprise a raise button 226 and/or a lower button 228.Actuations of the raise button 226 and the lower button 228 mayrespectively increase and decrease the intensity of the controlledlighting load by a predetermined amount of change in the light caused bythe phone, ΔL_(PHONE). For example, the actuation of the raise button226 and the lower button 228, respectively, may change the intensity ofthe controlled lighting load by 1% to provide fine tune adjustment.Though shown as soft buttons, the raise button 226 and/or the lowerbutton 228 may be physical hard buttons.

As shown in FIG. 2B, the network device 200 may display a shading zoneadjustment window. For example, the network device 200 may display ashading zone adjustment window for providing fine tune adjustment of aparameter (e.g., the position) of a covering material of a motorizedwindow treatment (e.g., the motorized window treatment 130 of the loadcontrol system 100 of FIG. 1).

The network device 200 may display a load control adjustment screen 250for controlling an electrical load via a load control device. Forexample, the load control adjustment screen 250 may be a shading zoneadjustment window for controlling a zone of shading. The zone of shadingmay include one or more motorized window treatments, such as themotorized window treatment 130 of the load control system 100 shown inFIG. 1. The load control adjustment screen 250 may have a slider control252 (e.g., a vertically-arranged linear slider control) having anadjustment knob 254 arranged along a slot 255. A user may press and holdthe adjustment knob 254 with a finger and slide the finger (e.g., up anddown) to move the adjustment knob 254 to adjust a parameter (e.g., theposition) of the motorized window treatments. The slider control 252 mayprovide fine tune adjustment of the parameter (e.g., the position) ofthe motorized window treatments. For example, the fine tune adjustmentprovided by the network device may adjust the position of the motorizedwindow treatments by a lesser percentage than provided by the wearablewireless device. The fine tune adjustment may adjust the parameter(e.g., the position) of the motorized window treatments in smallerincrements than enabled on the wearable wireless device. For example,the fine tune adjustments may adjust the parameter (e.g., the position)of the motorized window treatments in increments of 1%, 5% steps, 10%steps, 15% steps, 25% steps, etc. The percentage of change in theadjustments made on the wearable wireless device may be a multiple ofthe percentage of change available on the network device. For example,the wearable wireless device may control the motorized window treatmentto adjust the position of the covering material in increments that areten times greater than the increments of change that may be enabled bythe network device. The network device may be able to make fine-tuneadjustments of the covering material at 1% increments, while thewearable wireless device may control the level of the covering materialin 10%, 25%, or 33% increments.

Though shown as a vertical slider control 252, the slider control 252may be horizontally arranged, or circular. The load control adjustmentscreen 250 may comprise a raise button 256 and/or a lower button 258.Actuations of the raise button 256 and the lower button 258 mayrespectively open and close the motorized window treatments by apredetermined amount. For example, the actuation of the raise button 256and the lower button 258, respectively, may change the opening of themotorized window treatments 10%, to provide fine tune adjustment. Thoughshown as soft buttons, the raise button 256 and/or the lower button 258may be physical hard buttons.

FIGS. 3A-3E illustrate front views of an example wearable wirelessdevice 300 (e.g., the wearable wireless device 180 of the load controlsystem 100 shown in FIG. 1). The wearable wireless device 300 maycomprise a wrist band 310 and a user interface having a touch-responsivevisual display 320 with a touch sensitive element (e.g., a capacitivetouch pad) displaced overtop the visual display. The wearable wirelessdevice 300 may be configured to display a plurality of different softcontrols (e.g., soft buttons) on the visual display 320 to allow theuser to monitor and adjust different operating characteristics andparameters of a load control system (e.g., the load control system 100).The wearable wireless device 300 may comprise a dial 312, which may berotated by the user, e.g., to scroll through displayed soft controlsand/or options on the visual display 320.

As shown in FIGS. 3A-3E, the wearable wireless device 300 may display aload control adjustment screen 330 (e.g., a lighting zone adjustmentscreen) for controlling one or more zones of lighting (e.g., controlledlighting loads, such as the light bulbs 112, 122 of the load controlsystem 100). The load control adjustment screen 330 may display alighting zone 340 providing feedback. The feedback may include one ormore icons (e.g., a meter). The feedback may include a linear intensitymeter 342 comprising a plurality of segments. Each of the number ofsegments of the intensity meter may represent a portion of a range(e.g., a dimming range) of a load control device (e.g., a dimmerswitch). Each portion of the dimming range may be defined by a minimumintensity and a maximum intensity. For example, the linear intensitymeter 342 may comprise four segments as shown in FIGS. 3A-3E. Thelighting zone 340 may comprise a zone name 344 for describing thelighting load(s) controlled by the lighting zone 340. For example, thezone name 344 may comprise the text “Kitchen Lights.” The linearintensity meter 342 may extend between a lights-off icon 346 on the leftand a lights-on icon 348 on the right. The lights-off icon 346 may beindicated by a dark light bulb or other indicator. The lights-on iconmay be indicated by an illuminated light bulb or other indicator.

One or more of the segments of the of the linear intensity meter 342 maybe highlighted (e.g., made brighter or a different color) to indicatethe intensity of the lighting zone 340. For example, when the lightingzone 340 is off (e.g., controlled to an intensity of 0%), none of thesegments of the linear intensity meter 342 may be highlighted as shownin FIG. 3A. When the intensity of the lighting zone 340 is between, forexample, 1% and 25%, the segment of the linear intensity meter 342closest to the lights-off icon 346 may be highlighted as shown in FIG.3B. When the intensity of the lighting zone 340 is between, for example,26% and 50%, the two segments of the linear intensity meter 342 closestto the lights-off icon 346 may be highlighted as shown in FIG. 3C. Whenthe intensity of the lighting zone 340 is between, for example, 51% and75%, the three segments of the linear intensity meter 342 closest to thelights-off icon 346 may be highlighted as shown in FIG. 3D. When theintensity of the lighting zone 340 is between, for example, 76% and100%, each of the segments of the linear intensity meter 342 may behighlighted as shown in FIG. 3E.

As shown in FIGS. 3A-3E, multiple segments of the linear intensity meter342 may be highlighted in series from the lights-off icon 346 to ahighest (e.g., right-most) highlighted segment to indicate intensitiesgreater than 25% (e.g., as a “bar graph”). Each segment may beunhighlighted to represent an intensity of 0% (as shown in FIG. 3A), onesegment may be highlighted to represent an intensity between 1% and 25%,two segments may be highlighted to represent an intensity between 26%and 50%, three segments may be highlighted to represent an intensitybetween 51% and 75%, and four segments may be highlighted to representan intensity between 76% and 100%. Also, or alternatively, one of thesegments of the linear intensity meter 342 may be independentlyilluminated to indicate the intensity when the lighting zone 340 is on.For example, the highest highlighted segment of the intensity meter 342may be independently highlighted to indicate the intensity when thelighting zone 340 is on. For example, the segment next to the lights-officon 346 may be independently highlighted to represent an intensitybetween 1% and 25%, the second segment from the lights-off icon 346 maybe independently highlighted to represent an intensity between 26% and50%, the third segment from the lights-off icon 346 may be independentlyhighlighted to represent an intensity between 51% and 75%, and thefourth segment from the lights-off icon 346 (e.g., the segment next tothe lights-on icon 348) may be independently highlighted to represent anintensity between 76% and 100%.

The user may be able to actuate the touch-responsive visual display 320when the load control adjustment screen 330 is being displayed. Forexample, the user may be able to actuate the touch-responsive visualdisplay 320 when the load control adjustment screen 330 is beingdisplayed in order to adjust a parameter (e.g., the intensities) of oneor more of the lighting zones. The user may be able to actuate thetouch-responsive visual display 320 adjacent to one of the lightingzones to adjust the parameter (e.g., the intensity) of that lightingload. For example, the user may be able to actuate the touch-responsivevisual display 320 within a predetermined distance of the intensitymeter 342, the zone name 344, the lights-off icon 346, and the lights-onicon 348 of the lighting zone 340 in order to control that lightingzone. Actuations of the left side of the touch-responsive visual display320 adjacent to the lighting zone 340 (e.g., on the lights-off icon 346)may decrease the intensity of the controlled lighting load. Actuationsof the right side of the touch-responsive visual display 320 adjacent tothe lighting zone 340 (e.g., on the lights-on icon 348) may increase theintensity of the controlled lighting load. In other words, the left andright sides of the touch-responsive visual display 320 adjacent to thelighting zone 340 may operate as lower and raise buttons, respectively,for the controlled lighting load.

The touch-responsive visual display 320 of the wearable wireless device300 may be smaller than a visual display of a network device (e.g., asmart phone). Because the touch-responsive visual display 320 of thewearable wireless device 300 may be smaller than a visual display of anetwork device (e.g., a smart phone), actuations of the left and rightsides of the touch-responsive visual display 320 adjacent to thelighting zone 340 may cause greater changes in the intensity of thecontrolled lighting load than the fine tune adjustment provided by thenetwork device (e.g., smart phone). For example, actuation of the visualdisplay of the wearable wireless device may adjust the intensity of thecontrolled lighting load by a greater percentage than the fine tuneadjustment provided by the network device. The greater changes in theintensity of the controlled lighting load may provide quick adjustmentof the intensity of the lighting load between, for example, 0% and 100%.For example, actuations of the left and right sides of thetouch-responsive visual display 320 adjacent to the lighting zone 340may adjust the intensity of the controlled lighting load to one of aplurality of preset intensities. The preset intensities may, forexample, be 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% to correspond to the maximumintensity of each segment of the linear intensity meter 342 shown inFIGS. 3A-3E.

In response to an actuation to increase a parameter (e.g., theintensity) of the controlled lighting load, the parameter (e.g.,intensity) may be adjusted to a preset parameter (e.g., intensity) thatmay cause a segment (e.g., the next segment) on the linear intensitymeter 342 to be highlighted. For example, if the intensity is between26% and 50% and the touch-responsive visual display 320 is actuated toraise the intensity of the lighting load, the intensity of the lightingload may be controlled to 75% and three of the segments of the linearintensity meter 342 may be highlighted, as shown in FIG. 3D. In responseto an actuation to decrease the parameter (e.g., intensity) of thecontrolled lighting load, the intensity may be adjusted to the presetintensity that causes the highest (e.g., right-most) highlighted segmentof the linear intensity meter 342 not to be highlighted. For example, ifthe intensity is between 26% and 50% and the touch-responsive visualdisplay 320 is actuated to lower the intensity of the lighting load, theintensity of the lighting load may be controlled to 25% and one of thesegments of the linear intensity meter 342 may be highlighted as shownin FIG. 3B. An example of controlling the lighting loads from thewearable wireless device 300 is provided in the Table 1.0.

Initialintensity between Intensity controlled Intensity controlled 51% and 75%to 100% and four to 50% and two segments highlighted. segmentshighlighted. Initial intensity between Intensity controlled Intensitycontrolled 76% and 100% to 100% and four to 75% and three segmentshighlighted. segments highlighted.Also, or alternatively, there may be multiple preset parameters (e.g.,intensities) for controlling the lighting load within a single segmentof the intensity) meter 342. For example, the linear intensity meter 342may have four segments, but the lighting load may be controlled to morepreset intensities, for example, at 0%, 12.5%, 25%, 37.5%, 50%, 62.5%,75%, 87.5%, and 100%.

The linear intensity meter 342 may have a different number of segments.For example, the linear intensity meter 342 may have three segments. Forexample, the preset intensities may be 0%, 33%, 66%, and 100%. Thelinear intensity meter 342 may have five segments. For example, thepreset intensities may be 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100%.

To provide fine tune adjustment of the controlled lighting load from thewearable wireless device 300, the user may press and/or hold thelighting zone 342 on the touch-responsive visual display 320 tohighlight the entire zone. The user may rotate (e.g., after pressingand/or holding the lighting zone 342) the dial 312 to adjust theparameter (e.g., intensity) of the lighting load by smaller amounts(e.g., in 1% steps). The touch-responsive visual display 320 may displaya numeral indicating the resulting intensity of the lighting load whencontrolled by the dial 312.

The intensity of the controlled lighting load may be adjusted by apredetermined amount of change in the lighting level caused by thewatch, ΔL_(WATCH), e.g., rather than controlling the intensity of thelighting zone 340 to preset intensities. The intensity of the controlledlighting load may be adjusted by a predetermined amount in response toactuations of the left and right sides of the touch-responsive visualdisplay 320. For example, actuations of the left and right side of thetouch-responsive visual display 320 adjacent to the lighting zone 340may respectively decrease and increase the intensity of the controlledlighting load by the predetermined amount ΔL_(WATCH). The predeterminedamount ΔL_(WATCH) may be a substantial portion of the total dimmingrange of the controlled lighting load. For example, the predeterminedamount ΔL_(WATCH) may be 25% to correspond with the spacing between theintensities indicated by the segments of the linear intensity meter 342as shown in FIGS. 3A-3E. The predetermined amount ΔL_(WATCH) may have adifferent value if the linear intensity meter 342 has a different numberof segments. For example, the predetermined amount ΔL_(WATCH) may beapproximately 33.33% if the linear intensity meter 342 has threesegments or 20% if the linear intensity meter 342 has five segments.

As shown in FIGS. 3A-3E, the load control adjustment screen 330 maydisplay a lighting zone 350 having a status indicator 352. The statusindicator 352 may comprise a single linear segment extending between alights-off icon 356 on the left and a lights-on icon 358 on the right.The lighting zone 350 may comprise a zone name 354 for describing thelighting load controlled by the lighting zone 350. For example, the zonename 354 may have the text “Living Room Lights.”

The lighting zone 350 may comprise a switched lighting load. The statusindicator 352 may be highlighted to indicate that the controlledlighting load is on (as shown in FIGS. 3B-3E) and may be unhighlightedto indicate that the controlled lighting load is off (as shown in FIG.3A). The user may be able to actuate the touch-responsive visual display320 adjacent to one of the lighting zones to adjust the intensity ofthat lighting load. For example, the user may be configured to actuatethe touch-responsive visual display 320 adjacent to the lighting zone350 (e.g., within a predetermined distance of the status indicator 352,the zone name 354, the lights-off icon 356, and/or the lights-on icon358 of the lighting zone 350) in order to control that lighting zone.Actuations of the left side of the touch-responsive visual display 320adjacent to the lighting zone 350 (e.g., on the lights-off icon 356) mayturn off the controlled lighting load. Actuations of the right side ofthe touch-responsive visual display 320 adjacent to the lighting zone350 (e.g., on the lights-on icon 358) may turn on the controlledlighting load.

The load control adjustment screen 330 may display additional electricalloads, such as additional lighting zones and/or motorized windowtreatments. For example, the user may scroll through the lighting zoneson the load control adjustment screen 330 by swiping (e.g., swiping upand down) on the touch-responsive visual display 320, and/or by rotatingthe dial 312.

FIG. 4 illustrates a front view of an example wearable wireless device400 (e.g., smart watch) comprising another load control adjustmentscreen 460 (e.g., a shading zone adjustment screen) for controlling aparameter (e.g., the positions) of covering materials of one or morezones of motorized window treatments (e.g., the motorized windowtreatment 130 of the load control system 100). The wearable wirelessdevice 400 may comprise a wrist band 410 and a user interface having atouch-responsive visual display 420 with a touch sensitive element(e.g., a capacitive touch pad) displaced overtop the visual display. Thewearable wireless device 400 may be configured to display a plurality ofdifferent soft controls (e.g., soft buttons) on the visual display 420to allow the user to monitor and adjust different operatingcharacteristics and parameters of a load control system (e.g., the loadcontrol system 100). The wearable wireless device 400 may comprise adial 412, which may be rotated by the user, e.g., to scroll throughdisplayed soft controls and/or options on the visual display 420.

The load control adjustment screen 460 may display multiple shade zones,such as shade zones 470, 480 as shown in FIG. 4. The shade zones 470,480 may provide feedback. The feedback may include one or more icons(e.g., a meter). The feedback may include respective linear positionmeters 472, 482 that include a plurality of segments (e.g., foursegments as shown in FIG. 4). Each of the number of segments of themeter may represent a portion of a range (e.g., a covering materialposition range) of a load control device (e.g., a motorized windowtreatment). Each portion of the range may be defined by a minimumposition and a maximum position. The shade zones 470, 480 may compriserespective zone names 474, 484 for describing the motorized windowtreatments controlled by the shade zones 470, 480. Each linear positionmeter 472, 482 may extend between a respective fully-closed icon 476,486 on the left and a respective fully-open icon 478, 488 on the right.The user may scroll through the shade zones on the load controladjustment screen 460 by swiping up and down on the touch-responsivevisual display 420, or by rotating the dial 412.

One or more of the segments of each of the linear position meters 472,482 may be highlighted to indicate the position of the covering materialof the respective shade zones 470, 480 (e.g., in a similar manner as thelinear intensity meter 342 is highlighted to indicate the intensity ofthe lighting zone 340). For example, when the shade zone 470 is fullyclosed (e.g., at 0% open), each of the segments of the linear positionmeter 472 may be unhighlighted. When the shade zone 470 is between, forexample, 1% and 25% open, the segment of the linear position meter 472closest to the fully-closed icon 476 may be highlighted as shown in FIG.4. When the shade zone 470 is between, for example, 26% and 50% open,the two segments of the linear position meter 472 closest to thefully-closed icon 476 may be highlighted. When the shade zone 470 isbetween, for example, 51% and 75% open, the three segments of the linearposition meter 472 closest to the fully-closed icon 476 may behighlighted (e.g., as shown on the shade zone 380 in FIG. 4). When theshade zone 470 is between, for example, 76% and 100% open, each of thesegments of the linear position meter 472 may be highlighted.

As shown in FIG. 4, multiple segments of the linear position meter 472may be highlighted in series from the fully-closed icon 476 to a highest(e.g., right-most) highlighted segment to indicate positions greaterthan 25% (e.g., as a “bar graph”). Each segment may be unhighlighted torepresent a position of 0%, one segment may be highlighted to representa position between 1% and 25%, two segments may be highlighted torepresent a position between 26% and 50%, three segments may behighlighted to represent a position between 51% and 75%, and foursegments may be highlighted to represent a position between 76% and100%. Also, or alternatively one of the segments of the linear positionmeter 472, 482 may be independently illuminated to indicate the positionof the shade zones 470, 480. For example, the highest highlightedsegment of the position meters 472, 482 may be independently highlightedto indicate the position of the shade zones 470, 480. For example, thesegment next to the fully-closed icon 476 may be independentlyhighlighted to represent a position between 1% and 25%, the secondsegment from the fully-closed icon 476 may be independently highlightedto represent a position between 26% and 50%, the third segment from thefully-closed icon 476 may be independently highlighted to represent aposition between 51% and 75%, and the fourth segment from thefully-closed icon 476 (e.g., the segment next to the fully-open icon478) may be independently highlighted to represent a position between76% and 100%.

The user may be able to actuate the touch-responsive visual display 420when the load control adjustment screen 460 is being displayed (e.g.,adjacent to one of the shade zones). For example, the user may be ableto actuate the touch-responsive visual display 420 when the load controladjustment screen 460 is being displayed in order to adjust theparameter (e.g., the positions) of the motorized window treatments. Theuser may be able to actuate the touch-responsive visual display 420within a predetermined distance of the position meter 472, the zone name474, the fully-closed icon 476, and the fully-open icon 478 of the shadezone 470 in order to control the shade zone. Actuations of the left sideof the touch-responsive visual display 420 adjacent to the shade zone470 (e.g., on the fully-closed icon 476) may lower the position of thecovering material of the controlled motorized window treatment.Actuations of the right side of the touch-responsive visual display 420adjacent to the shade zone 470 (e.g., on the fully-open icon 478) mayraise the position of the covering material of the controlled motorizedwindow treatment. For example, the left and right sides of thetouch-responsive visual display 420 adjacent to the shade zone 470 mayoperate as lower buttons and raise buttons, respectively, for thecontrolled motorized window treatment.

Actuations of the left and right sides of the touch-responsive visualdisplay 420 adjacent to the shade zones 470, 480 of the wearablewireless device 400 may cause greater changes in the positions of thecovering materials of the controlled motorized window treatments thanthe fine tune adjustment provided by the network device (e.g., smartphone) to provide quick adjustment of the positions of the coveringmaterials between, for example, fully closed and fully open. Forexample, actuations of the left and right sides of the touch-responsivevisual display 420 adjacent to the shade zone 470 may adjust theposition of the covering material of the controlled motorized windowtreatment to one of a plurality of preset positions. The presetpositions may be, for example, 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% open tocorrespond to the maximum position of each segment of the linearposition meter 472 shown in FIG. 4.

In response to an actuation to raise the position of the coveringmaterial, the position may be adjusted to the preset parameter (e.g.,position) that causes the next segment on the respective linear positionmeter 472, 482 to be highlighted. For example, if the position of theshade zone 480 is between 26% and 50% open and the touch-responsivevisual display 420 is actuated to raise the position of the coveringmaterial, the position of the covering material may be controlled to 75%open and three of the segments of the linear position meter 482 may behighlighted as shown in FIG. 4.
